Drawing on my experience as a Vatican correspondent, I am available to give talks and lectures on the papacy and the Holy See and more. Typical subjects include an analysis of the pontificate of Pope Francis, the reality behind the scenes at the Vatican, looking ahead to the next conclave, prevailing challenges facing the Holy See, and Vatican reporting and evangelisation.
